Fighting In A Sack by The Shins
Fighting In A Sack
D G F
Just last night I woke from some unconscionable dream
D G C
and it nailed to my forehead again
D G
to keep this boat afloat
F
there are things you can't afford to know
D G C
so I save all my breath for the sails
Bm C D
But you'll find those lingering voices
Em D
are just your ego's attepmt to make it all
G A
clean and nice and make a moron out of you
Bm C D
walking a bridge with weakening cables
Em D G
huddled up in fear and hate because we know our fate
A
and its a lot to put us through
G Bm
bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
D G F
Most ideas turn into dust as there are few
in which we all can trust
D G C
haven't you noticed i've been shedding all of mine?
D
so lets abandon that track
G F
and leave our fathers fighting in a sack
D G C
cause we're way too wise-assed for that
Bm C D
You might find some fools at your doorstep
Em D G
hustling the latest changes to the book thats the strangest
A
in an attempt to multipy
Bm C D
marionettes on weakening cables
Em D G
huddled up with fear and hate because they know their fate
A
and its a lot to put them through
G A Em
bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
D Em
We've taken on a climb
D A Em
and its long enough to put the best of them on our backs
D Em
walking up a slide
D
and there are those we know who'd have us
A Em
five miles off the track
G A G A
bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
G Bm D
